2 Rabbits shot with my 17HMR.

A couple of rabbits shot for the pot.

I use 3 main methods.

Sitting and waiting for them to appear fr their burrows and shooting them at distance with my 17HMR.

Or lamping them at night with my 22LR.

I also enjoy working the hedges with my Cocker Spaniel - Purdey and shooting them with my shotgun as they bolt.

Occasionally I will use an airgun.

You have to "pee" them immediately as rabbits are a Mediterranean species and retain their urine in order to preserve the water in their bodies. If you don't "pee" them immediately they taint and taste of ammonia. You do this by squeezing the middle of the belly between their legs I order to make them wee.

My preferred way to cook them is in a pie with mushrooms and chicken soup.

If you simmer a rabbit in salt water for a few hours, the meat just falls off of the bone. In my opinion this is the best way to get the meat off off the rabbit. You can then do whatever you wish with the meat.
